ABOUT THE AUTHOR

William D. Burt is the award-winning author of the seven-title Christian allegorical "King of the Trees" series. Other works are in progress. Two of his titles (out of three submitted) were finalists in the 2014 Readers' Favorite International Book Award Contest: "The King of the Trees" and "The Golden Wood."

"The King of the Trees" subsequently won the 2014 Silver Medal in the category of "Christian fantasy."

All seven of Burt's series titles have been awarded five stars by Readers' Favorite reviewers.

He was also a 2013 finalist in The Authors Show.com "50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading" competition.

He is hard at work on his new speculative-fiction “Creation Seekers” series. The first title in this series is expected to be released in 2016 or early 2017.

Having spent most of his teenage years vicariously adventuring in Middle Earth, the author is an avid fantasy fan. His first fantasy title, "The King of the Trees," came out in 1998 (first edition). While still in high school, he began his writing career editing his father's popular identification guides, “Edible and Poisonous Plants of the Western/Eastern States." As an Assistant Professor in the Special Education Department at Western Oregon University, he served as a successful grant-writer and program coordinator.

Burt holds a B.S. in English from Lewis and Clark College and an M.S. from Western Oregon University in Deaf Education. He is an RID-certified sign-language interpreter with over 40 years' experience. His interests include reading, foreign languages, native plants and mycology. He is married with two grown children.

William Burt has also launched his new Creation Seekers series, which as its name implies, is predicated upon the Biblical principles of Creation Science. The flagship title in this series is The Lake Lights, set in Lake Oswego, Oregon. Book II, The Vikings of Loch Morar, is soon to be released.
